Dont u just hate it when........

[missrandom]

You give a helpful, practical answer to someones specific question (not just a general opinion) and they never reply?

[rugeleyboy]

its mostly the greenies that never reply!!............. they end up on here from googleing thier question then off they go back to their normal lives!!!!!

[Doc Spock]

Generally yes, it could be sometimes that the questioner has been called away. I sometimes reply hours later.

[missrandom]

oh yeah, i dont mind hours or over night even, weve all got stuff to do, I mean days and days. sometimes they seem like its really important to them too!

[RATTER15]

I agree, sometime you actually go out of your way to research a question, post a long helpful answer and no reply no stars, nothing!! The gratitude would be nice but I would also like to know if my answer helped!!

Sometime you get stars, fair enough but you don't know if it actually helped or they were just grateful you answered lol

[warpig3]

I agree RATTER, I have answered questions where I have trawled through the net to find them and then get no response, nothing! bummer!

[Baby Jane]

I have often thought the same thing, I think its rude not to answer even if it is days later. A simple "thanks" would be nice

[rugeleyboy]

*ahem* ....... a few stars would be nice?

[rugeleyboy]

ooops!!!!..........that'll teach me!!!

[missrandom]

hahahahaha, just beat u 2 it!! thats funny i have ALWAYS forgotten about stars!!

[bigmamma]

I agree with you all , its good to know if your answer has been helpful when you have researched it either off search engines or out of the dark recesses of ones mind.:-)

[radiogaga]

[missrandom]

If you hate it so much, then why do you do it?

Take gratification that you have shared your knowledge, experience or opinion and somebody somewhere will read it. There is no need to reply. If the purpose of you responding is because you are seeking some back-slapping group-hugging sycophantic idolatry responses to your �responses, then you may end up very disappointed indeed, perhaps even used, abused and ignored.

At times like these we should focus on some reflective obfuscatory hyperverbosity. So relax and relish in the knowledge that the tenderest of passions and feelings causes the rotational force propelling this inhabited planet.

And no, I don�t expect a response!

[missrandom]

well, i just want to know that someone has read it, wether it "worked", and just because it's common courtesy to say thank-you.

[Octavius]

Thank you for acknowledging my post.

[missrandom]

lol, but u obviously didnt read my question/statement properly. i wrote "not just a general opinion", of course you cant reply to everybodys general opinion/point. I meant specific answers to specific questions:-)

[chompu]

Good grief Octavius ! You weren't the bloke who introduced the acts on 'The Good Old Days' were you?

[Octavius]

chompu, sincere thanks for assuming the possibility, but alas I was born yesterday and therefore missed that opportunity.

missrandom, thank you ever so dearly for making it ever so clearer. I feel a Dido moment coming on.

In retrospect, have I not specifically answered your specific question specifically in a specific way? And yet, without so much as a solitary heavenly sphere, nor a mere expression of simple gratitude.
